William of Orange, also known as William the Silent, played a crucial role in the Dutch revolt against Spanish Habsburg rule. He became Prince of Orange in 1544 and led the uprising against Spanish control due to his opposition to the centralization of power and persecution of Dutch Protestants. William was a skilled leader who achieved several victories for the Dutch despite being declared an outlaw by the Spanish king. He fought tirelessly for Dutch independence until his assassination in 1584.
